“I was raised on sheep farms, and maintain strong connections to New Zealand’s rural community, with its unique challenges and changes.  I have worked in wholesale and retail environments, as well as operating a horticultural business, and have experience investing in property.  These experiences have given me valuable insight into the operations of varying business types as an insider.”
